Known for his surrealist-leaning society portraits and unique florals, Hare masterfully captures a series of vibrant red roses suspended against an ethereal, atmospheric background. The "floating" composition provides a dreamlike quality that elevates a traditional botanical subject into a significant work of Mid-Century Surrealism. Housed in its original ornate gilt-wood frame with a textured liner, the piece exudes the sophisticated Palm Beach glamour often associated with the artist’s legacy.

The piece measures 25.75 inches wide, 1.25 inches deep, and 32 inches tall. It remains in excellent vintage condition, with minor scuffs to the gilt frame and gentle surface aging that serve as a handsome patina, highlighting its authentic mid-century provenance. This is a rare opportunity to acquire an original work by a blue-chip artist; add this soulful piece of American art history to your collection today. See less
